Welcome to CardanoBits

The first 8-bit pixel art and the second 10k collection ever launched in Cardano. Known as cbits, I personally designed them to be your definitive avatar .

Launched on Easter 2021

The first collection was released Using Gdocs!

CardanoBits were announced on March 23rd, 2021. There were no Smart Contracts or Marketplaces back then, so I managed to do the sale, through a Google Docs file.April 4th The sale begins. All they got was a google doc with a wallet address. Within just 49 minutes, all CBits had sold out. With ~600 requests/sec, servers of Yoroi wallet crashed.April 5th People are waiting for the CBits to be sent out. There was just one problem though. The lack of standarised metadata schema led to a decision to burn all already minted CBits. Updated schema was published shortly after.April 7th All of the original mints were burned and refunds (to everyone that paid too late) were issued. Final minting begins.April 10th 5 days after the sale the new tweet reads: "Ok, it's happening.". Everyone that was lucky enough to get the payment through, received their CBits. (Special thanks to Matt Jura for this awesome recopilation)

The first mega-collaborative event

What was the CollaBits event?

In those early days, Artists were popping more and more, but I felt the space needed more alliances. So with Tyler (withspaces), we put together event, in which each Artist was supposed to upload two submissions of #cbits made in their style. The event was a whole week of auctions of the 1/1s tributes , made through the escrow service (before smart contracts) of the CNFT Discord. Launched in June 2021.

Technical Stuff

Here you have some important bullets about the collection, from a tech perspective. We´ve include information both from cbits and collabits

How can I know if I have an original cbit?: Easy, you can check the time-locked policy, the one from your cbit should be exactly this: 1131301ad4b3cb7deaddbc8f03f77189082a5738c0167e1772233097. You can verify using https://cardanoscan.io/.
How can I know if I have an original collabit?: Same as cbits, CollaBits has a time-locked policy too, the one from your collabit should be exactly this: 400a73ab09fb2ea5af3df1bac589599803ae53c18bc583f28698c13c.
How did you create the cbits art?: Well, I designed trait by trait using pixel art and an specific color schema. After, using Python, I made an algorithm which randomly created all the combinations.
Where does the data live?: The whole metadata of each cbit or collabit, lives in the Cardano Blockchain. The source images files, are stored in IPFS (Interplanetary File System), which allows you to store files, getting a unique ID which prevents anyone from making a change on the images and keeping track of them in a distributed network
